No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

This is an art glass angel, etched and fused techniques....I think that's right!!It is clearly signed, but I can't find out who it is by.....I was told it was made in Poland.In one of the photos, you can see the scorched window sill I mentioned in a previous thread....so beware of putting glass orbs on the sills!!Please can someone turn them for me....they have come out lying down!!

I had a wonderful holiday in Krakow a few years ago - stayed in the Hotel Alexander, (can't remember the name of the road it's in) there was an Art Glass shop in the same road, one of only two I found there (apart from Jablonski and lampwork animals and christmas tree baubles). I think the two shops I found were related - the other was in the main square.

I bought an orange-and-yellow-enamelled stripey cat in the shop for my brother's partner - it was of exactly the same sort of construction as your angel - flat base, upright slab of glass (both with cellulite texture), with etched marks to delineate features, artist signed. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the artist - I gave the info. to the recipient, goodness only knows where it might be now!

Ah, but Rosie, I wasn't familiar with the work... You mentioned 'Polish', so I took a look at the signature, saw the 'ą' letter, and asked my husband to read the rest of the scribble. I've never heard of Ida Dąbrówka Huk.

I'm not particularly fond of her pieces, or of any of the pieces in the gallery... I always thought these things were imported from China.

But I'm glad you are pleased, and I'm pleased your piece has been ID'd. :kissy:
